This seems to be the case - together with GNU libtool
putting that -L/usr/local/lib _before_ the -L./.libs
which would link with the "new" libsox.

(And, indeed,
  $ nm /usr/local/lib/libsox.so.4.0 | grep lsx_malloc
  $ nm src/.libs/libsox.so.3.0 | grep lsx_malloc
  00042f60 T lsx_malloc
which was the actual unresolved symbol, among others).

I can confirm that deleting the previous version of sox
(installed in /usr/local/ via the OpenBSD sox-14.4.2p5 port)
makes that problem go away; or, better put, masks the bug
by removing the condition under which is shows.

Having a previous version installed while a new one
is being built is to be expected, right?

Searching for -lsox in the -L path is also perfectly normal.
As we now know, it is the order of the -L options
introduced by GNU libtool that breaks it.

Your "clean" VM is a special case in that it does not
have a previous version installed (as opposed to my screwed up,
misconfigured machine). When you install the previous sox 14.4.2
(pkg_add sox), does the

  ./configure CC=cc CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
  make V=1

build still work?

I didn't get to FreeBSD testing yet, but on NetBSD
(where the build fails in other interesting ways), it's

libtool: link: gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes 
-Wstrict-prototypes -fopenmp -Wl,--as-needed -o .libs/sox sox.o  
./.libs/libsox.so -L/usr/pkg/lib -lmagic /usr/pkg/lib/libFLAC.so 
/usr/pkg/lib/libopusfile.so /usr/pkg/lib/libopus.so 
/usr/pkg/lib/libvorbisenc.so /usr/pkg/lib/libvorbisfile.so 
/usr/pkg/lib/libvorbis.so /usr/pkg/lib/libogg.so -lm -fopenmp -Wl,-rpath 
-Wl,/usr/local/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/pkg/lib

So even some of the external libraries are linked via absolute paths -
seems to be precisely those detected by pkg-config
(not sure what the point of pkg-config --libs is then);
the others (-lm -lmagic) are found in the -L path.

The linking commands are not invented by Linux or FreeBSD or OpenBSD
- they are what libtool or ./configure (or whatever it is inside the
auto* maze) put into the actual Makefile(s). If I understand the idea
of autotools at all, the supposed position of libtool is

        "Yo, I know how any given system/linker links;
        so I can issue the right linking commands
        for this system/linker right here, man".

What *is* unique about OpenBSD, then, is that GNU libtool
does in fact not know how to link here. Does that make sense?
